How do I set grid spacing?

I create my figure in my (non-interactive) script like so:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(...)

Then I want to set the spacing of y grid to 50 units (axis units). Do I need a method of the matplotlib.axis.Axis, or matplotlib.axes.Axes (or are these the same??), or something else?

Ben.

Does "ax.set_xlim([0,50])" do what you want it to do?

hi paul,

i finally worked it out, and should have replied to myself:

ax.set_xticks(np.arange(0,100,20))

for me it seemed to work.
